  1. The problem with the back straight on a night meeting is the floodlights, the lights are on your eye level and it is difficult to see riders at the opposite end of the track. I understand that they can't be higher due to the proximity of the motorway.
  2. I arrived just after half five and it was off, people were leaving to colleci their refund.
  3. I came through monsoon rain at The Forge, when I came to the Royal Infirmary it was dry from there to Ashfield. It was two hours before start time and the track staff were working on the track, I was very surprised to find it was off with a clear sky. O.K. I was at the track and it may have been different if I had arrived an hour later to find it off but I don't think enough time was given to allow work to be done on the track. I've heard that there was no consultation between the referee, riders or staff, if true that is shocking.
  4. R.I.P. Svein Harald Kaasa who lost his life at Hampden Park on this day in 1972
  5. Vissing's appeal was rejected, Kennett didn't appeal.
  6. So that track was packed tight with littled loose dirt but riders need it super slick, does that not mean the track should've been to their liking?
  7. He was still there later on in the meeting, he appeared in the video of the second incident.
  8. Rich has posted that he only spoke to his mascot and said that this doesn't usually happen. As Crumpet said , a man of integrity.
  9. Next time the ref puts on the red lights see how many riders "stop", they will throttle back and slow down.
  10. Don't know about you but most people's heads are attatched to their shoulders, move your shoulder and your head usually follows.
  11. Newcastle could do with a bit off the inside line.
  12. By trying to stop a bike with no brakes with his body.
  13. We get it, Cook shouldn't have left the starting gate but the marshall shouldn't try to stop a bike with no brakes by jumping in front of it.
  14. I'm not suggesting the Glasgow riders were right to start up, I was just wondering who pushed them off.
  15. Don't think staff are alowed on track when bikes ar running. Of course Glasgow could afford choppers.
  16. First, who pushed the Glasgow rider off, was it themselves? Second, why was the trackstaff member standing on the track? H&S dictates that they must stay lnside the markers {3mtrs}{?}
